To an extent I agree with Eurocamper .
I would like to see the breakdown / analysis of the Wind Cave NP operating costs .
I think the Camping Fees are supporting a lot more than the CG area operations .
When a Camping site is vacant for the night , what is that vacancy cost ? To me it is similar to a vacant seat on an airplane , train , or bus .
I have always been skeptical about operations and policy , when the concessionaires can charge the same price and make a profit , but the NPS can not !
Why can most COE facilities pay their contractors , or even accept bids to operate their areas ,
for the same prices , and not have the budget problems ?
